When Flesh Becomes Word: An Anthology of Early Eighteenth-Century Libertine LiteratureBradford K. Mudge Oxford University Press, 1 апр. 2004 г. - Всего страниц: 368 When Flesh Becomes Word collects nine different examples of British libertine literature that appeared before 1750. Three of these--The School of Venus (1680), Venus in the Cloister (1725), and A Dialogue Between a Married Lady and a Maid (1740)--are famous "whore dialogues," dramatic conversations between an older, experienced woman and a younger, inexperienced maid. Previously unavailable to the modern reader, these dialogues combine sex education, medical folklore, and erotic literature in a decidedly proto-pornographic form. This edition presents other important examples of libertine literature, including bawdy poetry, a salacious medical treatise, an irreverent travelogue, and a criminal biography. The combination of both popular and influential texts presented in this edition provides an accessible introduction to the variety of material available to eighteenth-century readers before the publication of John Cleland's Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure in 1749. |

Стр. 85 - The Fifteenth Plague Alas! I care not, Sir, what Force you'd use, So I my Maiden-head could quickly lose: Oft do I wish one skill'd in Cupid's Arts, Would quickly dive into my secret Parts; For as I am, at Home all sorts of weather, I skit,— as Heaven and Earth would come together, Twirling a Wheel, I sit at home, hum drum, And spit away my Nature on my Thumb; Whilst those that...
Стр. xxxi - Truth ! stark naked truth,* is the word, and I will not so much as take the pains to bestow the strip of a gauze-wrapper on it, but paint situations such as they actually rose to me in nature, careless of violating those laws of decency, that were never made for such unreserved intimacies as ours...
Стр. 289 - But if once our carnal appetites are let loose, without those prudent and secure guides, there is no excess and disorder •which they are not liable to commit, even while they pursue their natural satisfaction; and, which may seem still more strange, there is nothing monstrous and unnatural, which they are not capable of inventing, nothing so brutal and shocking which they have not actually committed.
Стр. xxi - ... had the same kind of impulse which made Giulio Romano do the original paintings, and inasmuch as the poets and the sculptors, both ancient and modern, have often written or carved— for their own amusement only— such trifles as the marble satyr in the Chigi Palace who is trying to assault a boy, I scribbled off the sonnets which you find underneath each one. The sensual thoughts which they call to mind I dedicate to you, saying a fig for hypocrites. I am all out of patience with their scurvy...

She rested her head upon her mattress, and making reflection upon the state of poor mortals, which she called miserable and wretched, being born with such movements which they condemned, though it was impossible to repress them, she fell into a very great weariness, but it was an amorous one which the fury of her passion had caused and made this young thing taste such a pleasure which ravished her to the very skies. At this moment, nature, inciting all its forces, broke through all...
Стр. xxiii - Charing Cross and drove to St. Paul's. Then walked to Lime Street. Was to have gone to Woodford with Preston. Was too late. Called Dr. Johnson; not at home. Called on old Cleland.9 Found him in an old house in the Savoy, just by the waterside. A coarse, ugly old woman for his servant.1 His room, filled with books in confusion and dust, was like Dupont's and old Lady Eglinton's, at least old ideas were suggested to me as if I were in a castle. He was drinking tea and eating biscuits. I joined him....
